Kal-El

Gender: Masculine
Usage: Popular Culture, English (Modern)

Meaning

Created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster in 1938 as the birth name of the comic book hero Superman, who came from the distant planet Krypton. The original spelling Kal-L was changed to Kal-El in the 1940s. Some have theorized that El is inspired by the common Hebrew name element אֵל (‘el) meaning “God”. Although Siegel and Shuster were Jewish, there is no evidence that they had this connection in mind, and it seems possible they simply made it up. Superman’s other name, Clark Kent, was given to him by his adoptive parents.American actor Nicolas Cage gave this name to his son in 2005.
